The Benefits of Liquid Seaweed Fertilizer

Liquid seaweed fertilizer is organic and sustainable and provides a vast array of nutrients that can help all kinds of plant life.

One of the best fertilizers you can use on your plants is liquid seaweed. Yet this is probably the last fertilizer people think of buying when they go to their local garden centre or shop online. Liquid seaweed fertilizer is not only organic, but comes from a sustainable source and can be harvested without damaging the environment.

Most seaweed-based fertilizers are made from kelp, a variety of seaweed that can grow to lengths of over 50 metres. Trace elements found in organic seaweed fertilizers include magnesium, potassium, zinc, iron and nitrogen—all of which are beneficial to plants. Nitrogen, for instance, is essential to the production of nitrate, a key component needed by plants during photosynthesis.

I can't rave enough about the benefits of using a liquid seaweed fertilizer on your garden, be it on your lawns, your flower beds, your vegetables or even on your houseplants. I personally have found the results incredibly impressive, and I love that this is a natural product harvested in a way that won't have any negative impact on the environment or the sustainability of the seaweed itself.

Where Should You Apply Liquid Seaweed Fertilizer?

Seaweed has more than 70 minerals, vitamins and enzymes. Here are just a handful of its many benefits and uses:

Liquid seaweed solution promotes additional budding if applied as the plants are beginning to bud.

It extends the shelf life of fruits and vegetables if applied 10 days before harvesting.

The extract lengthens the life of cut flowers if they are sprayed with it a day or two before cutting.

It can also be used as a rooting solution. Place cuttings in a solution of liquid seaweed and water until roots develop, then plant. When planting seeds or transplanting, water with the solution.

If applied to pasture crops, the algae increases the nutrient uptake, the protein content and overall quality of the crop.

Seaweed extract also boosts crop yields, improves resistance of plants to frost and disease, increases uptake of inorganic constituents from the soil, bolsters resistance to stress conditions and reduces storage losses of fruit.

Seaweed fertilizers are especially useful in organic gardening. They contain almost every micro-nutrient in a fully chelated (immediately available) form. The algae is also full of carbohydrates, which plants use as a building block. Numerous beneficial microorganisms also use carbohydrates as a food source.

Liquid seaweed fertilizers (especially the alginates in the seaweed) act as soil conditioners. The alginates react with metals in the soil and form long, cross-linked polymers in the soil. These polymers improve the crumbling in the soil and swell up when they get wet. They also retain moisture for a long time.

When used as a fertilizer, seaweed extract can boost everything from crop yields to resistance to diseases and frost. | Source

Research on the Beneficial Effects of Liquid Seaweed

Numerous studies at major universities around the world have yielded various findings about the positive effects of liquid seaweed as a fertilizer, including:

When plants were fertilized with seaweed researchers found that: geraniums produced more flowers per plant; grapes were sweeter; gladiolus corms grew larger; and cucumber yields increased 40 percent (and the fruits suffered less often from softening and rotting).

Seaweed is chock-full of important hormones that are essential to plant health like auxins, cytokinins, betaines, and gibbelerins. | Source

Important Plant Hormones in Seaweed

Another major component in liquid seaweed fertilizers is the hormones. The main hormones in seaweed are auxins, cytokinins, betaines and gibbelerins. These hormones are essential to plant health. Most of these are only required in very small proportions, but are important nonetheless.

Auxins

There are many different auxins, and they all have their specific roles. One of their main functions is balancing speed of growth. They have both growth-stimulating and growth-delaying functions. They also stimulate root growth and prevent bud forming or bud opening at the wrong times.

Seaweed can play an important role in the production of the plant's own auxins, because the enzymes formed with the help of trace elements from the liquid seaweed fertilizer play an important role in the formation of these auxins.

Cytokinins

Cytokinins are another group of important plant hormones. They initiate and activate basic growth processes. The cytokinins available in liquid seaweed extract stimulate growth with greater vigour because they mobilize nutrients in the leaves.

They also provide protection from marginal frost (up to -3 Celsius). Cytokinins also retard the senescence (aging processes) in the plant.

Betaines

Betaines play an essential role in the osmotic processes in plants. They help to increase the water uptake in plants and are extremely helpful in dry conditions. Betaines are also particularly helpful to plants under stress.

Liquid seaweed fertilizer works best when sprayed directly onto the leaves. This method of application is known as "foliar."

Spray Fertilizer Directly on the Leaves

Foliar application is no doubt the most efficient and effective method of administering liquid seaweed to your plants. Kelp extracts are 8 to 20 times more effective when applied to the leaves than when broadcast on the soil.

Spray the fertilizer as a fine mist until it drips off the plants’ surfaces. The plants will immediately absorb the fertilizer and begin to benefit from it by the second day.

Note: The other advantage I have discovered is that the liquid seaweed fertilizer applied as a foliar feed actually seems to deter such nasty pests as greenfly and whitefly organically. What more could I ask for!

Vary the Concentration Based on Need

One benefit of using a liquid seaweed fertilizer is that you can vary the concentration according to your needs. For instance, you would probably use a more diluted mixture on a lawn but would tend to use a stronger concentration for a houseplant.

One thing I have noticed is that a little of this product goes a very long way with some pretty impressive results. Personally, one of my favourite uses for liquid seaweed fertilizer is to give my exhibition vegetables a boost during the growing season in the hope that I will stand a better chance of securing a few prizes once the summer show comes around each August.

One of the best aspects of liquid seaweed fertilizer is how easy it is to adjust the concentration. Whether you need a diluted mixture for your lawn or a concentrated mixture for your plants, the process is as easy as just adding a little more water.

How Is Liquid Seaweed Fertilizer Made?

Liquid seaweed fertilizers are made from various species of seaweed that are washed, dried, milled and processed to enable the natural benefits to go into effect immediately upon contact with either the plants' foliage or the soil itself. This speeds up the natural processes by converting raw seaweed into an easily applied and easily digested weed.

Liquid seaweed extract is produced with no acid and no caustic or organic solvents. It is a truly organic product that has been extensively used in organic grower trials.

Liquid seaweed fertilizer works great on lawns or golf courses.

Seaweed Fertilizer Use in the United Kingdom

Seaweed fertilizer is known in the dialects of Norman as vraic, a word that has also entered Channel Island English—the activity of collecting vraic being termed vraicking. In Scotland, it is used as fertilizer in lazybeds or feannagan. Falkland Islanders who collect seaweed have also been nicknamed "Kelpers" from time to time. Liquid seaweed fertilizer is used by many of the English and Scottish Football Premiership Grounds, as well as numerous UK Championship Golf Courses.

Hi Tash, well I confess I am no expert on houseplants because I prefer to grow vegetables, but without knowing anything about the Boston fern specifically, I would say in general to feed any plant that is in active growth about once a week, indoors or outdoors. Certainly if a plant is looking a bit yellowed and not healthy it probably needs a feed (unless it is the end of its growing season and it is naturally dying back).

Hope this helps.

This makes perfect sense to me. My grandfather used to use weeds growing in the lake in Wisconsin for use on his garden at their summer home. I think he used it like compost but the weeds would have gradually added nutrients to the soil as they disintegrated. The lakes were fresh water so no need to worry about salt. He always had a green thumb and used natural methods.

Ahhh, I see. You could make a up either a liquid nettle or a liquid comfrey mixture and dilute that before adding it to the liquid seaweed. You do this by cutting lads of nettles or comfrey and adding it to a bin or bucket full of water and covering it up. Leave it to stew for a few weeks and then dilute the mixture down at about a 10-1 ratio before using.

Can you clarify what you mean by needing innovations etc? Not sure I follow what you are looking for. Thanks

If you mean experiments, then I would suggest having two groups of the same plant as test subjects. Treat them exactly the same, but only feed the one group with liquid seaweed fertiliser and then compare things like size and health of plant, resulting crop weights etc.

Hi Rachel, that is a difficult question to answer because different brands may have different concentrations so would require different amounts of liquid seaweed per gallon. The one I use is a tiny amount per gallon, something like 3ml of liquid seaweed to a gallon.

I didn't find it had any smell at all, and as it is a very watery liquid it drains down immediately to the roots. You would get a smell if you used real seaweed (I have done this too), but even that stops after about 2 days as the surface dries to form a layer between the air and the moist seaweed below.

I have never grown eggplant scamver, but I don't see why not. Most seaweeds can be used as compost or fertilizer, but the easiest way is to buy the liquid form as opposed to having to collect your own from the beach, not least because in some areas it illegal to remove it from beaches, plus it reduces hugely in size as it dries out so you need a lot of it.

AUTHOR

Cindy Lawson

Liquid seaweed or real seaweed will benefit the plants that grow in that soil. The problem is that if you want to improve the soil consistency, type and texture, you need to add organic matter as opposed to a liquid that will drain away without any plants to feed off of it. If you want to improve the soil itself I recommend adding as much organic matter as you can, e.g. actual seaweed, spent compost, lawn mowings, home made household compost, well rotted cow manure or horse manure, well rotted leaf mould etc. You don't have to dig it in, just smother the surface of the soil with a thick layer of the stuff and then let the worms and the rotting process mix it in for you. I have written on this subject elsewhere. If you want to read about it you can read my article at the following link:

My patch of garden is a foot of top soil and clay, would my garden benefit liquid seaweed feeds? When i bought my unit i did not check the depth of the soil. I was told to get some gypsum and put it through soil, but being on my own find it to much hard work. Look forward to hear from you Kris :(

Hi Kris, I am surprised you have not seen it around as most garden centres stock concentrated liquid seaweed feeds, but then maybe you weren't looking for it before.

The variety I use costs £5.99 a bottle plus £2.50 postage to UK destinations. This bottle dilutes down on a basis of 10ml (2 x teaspoons) to 6 litres of water. The bottle contains 500ml (half a litre). This means one bottle will make 300 litres of the mixture. This rate applies for normal watering of plants. If you are using it as a foliar spray you can double the dilution rate therefore getting 600 litres per bottle.

I can't answer which crops have shown the 'most' benefit from using it, as the results seem to be across the board, i.e. lawns, houseplants, fruits, vegetables etc. I would suggest using it on anything you grow.

As to the last question, I would say this is a very cost effective treatment for plant feed as a little goes such a long way. I use mine on houseplants and vegetables, the latter of which I enter in local annual shows. The seaweed ensures, healthier, larger and tastier crops all round.
